Frankly I think this list was a major contributor to rapid success in the industry, and I always tell fellow developers to join the list if they're looking for a similar boost. Just for the record, my #1 favorite thread was the argument about php4 vs 5 oo, when Tony Marsten and I were going at it tooth and nail and Rob showed how to change the value of a private member variable via serialization - EPIC! Dan I also remember when you were sending the tally of weekly posts per contributor at the end of each week, which I think spurred activity for some time. I still hop on threads from time to time, just a lot more picky about which ones any more. >ducks< -nathan
